Interview - Dr. Bruce Damer on the Origins of Life and on new Volcanism Discovery on Mars

Listen Now to Dr. Bruce Damer 12.05.2022

One of our science stories this week is about new discoveries of more recent volcanism on Mars, suggesting that a warmer climate there may have led to the creation of life there. We speak with evolutionary scientist Bruce Damer about the significance of these latest discoveries.  He also brings us up-to-date with his latest work with David Deamer and Francesca Carey, on the introduction of a new concept, ‘urability,’ a property of planets that can support the beginnings of life as we understand it. Bruce also speaks of his origin of life work at the Fly Hot Springs, a place we know, curiously, from visits to Burningman, and how AI can play a role in understanding our biological evolution. Enjoy!

Happy New Year and welcome to a new decade on Planet Earth.  We have a lot to look forward to and a lot to leave behind as we hurtle into the “Soaring Twenties,” as Mrs. Future likes to say.  Explorations of the final frontier look bright, with many missions to Mars, the Moon and asteroids come to fruition. We look forward to sharing many exciting stories with you in the coming year and beyond!

Sadly, pioneering talk radio host Art Bell went to ‘the other side’ last Friday the 13th of April, leaving behind a legacy of exploring edgey topics late into the night.  Our show was originally started with the premise that we would cover Art’s (and later George Noory) type of topics, but in the daytime, under the bright light and scrutiny of an awake audiene. However for us, it’s not so much things that go bump in the night, but events that propel our civilization forward to a better now.  In honor of Art, consider our story this week on “The Silurian Hypothesis,” as scientists investigate the possibility of an advanced reptilian race that lived far in our past.. Enjoy!
